CF+ II hard drive from a WD 6gb Portable HD

Hey All,

So after a mishap a long ago with my USB drive (the WD 6gb Portable HD), my USB adapter was quite tenuous. Well 6 months later while attempting to remove it from the USB port, it finally snapped off.

After I had ordered a new one (they can be found significantly cheaper now), I decided to open the little drive up. Inside was a 6 GB CF+ Type II Microdrive. I promptly thought... "well the drive should still be good, it was just the USB adapter that was broken".

I put the microdrive into the CF slot on my desktop. The light comes on my CF Card reader as if it would recognize the drive, but it does not show up on my computer. I can double click on the CF drive in My Computer, but it just says "Please insert a disk into Drive I:"

Any suggestions? It would be nice to get a little more use out of that drive.

Thanks so much,
Tim
